Critical Thinking When conducting a test for the difference of means for two independent populations x 1 and x 2 , what alternate hypothesis would indicate that the mean of the x 2 population is larger than that of the x 1 population? Express the alternate hypothesis in two ways.

Critical Thinking When conducting a test for the difference of means for two independent populations x 1 and x 2 , what alternate hypothesis would indicate that the mean of the x 2 population is larger than that of the x 1 population? Express the alternate hypothesis in two ways.

Solution Summary: The author explains the alternative hypothesis, which is taken when the null hypothesis is rejected. The alternate hypothesis states that the difference between the means of two populations must be less than 0.

Chapter 8.5, Problem 8P

Critical Thinking When conducting a test for the difference of means for two independent populations x₁ and x₂, what alternate hypothesis would indicate that the mean of the x₂ population is larger than that of the x₁ population? Express the alternate hypothesis in two ways.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
